Two design icons have come together in a partnership that ultimately shows the synergy between fashion and art.

Chanel's Creative Director Karl Lagerfeld has collaborated with famed art supplies manufacturer Faber-Castell on an exclusive drawing collection. Limited to only 2500 individually numbered pieces, the Karlbox features the brand's finest lines of drawing instruments including the Albrecht Durer and Polychromos colour pencils, as well as the Pitt crayons.

The Karlbox, designed by Lagerfeld himself, is packed with a wide gamut of vivid colours, all of which were hand-picked by the designer. "Since I was a child in Germany, Faber-Castell has been the most famous brand, known for its especially good quality," said Lagerfeld. "That reputation remains just as true today, particularly for artist pencils." To ensure that function follows form, each individual drawer in the Karlbox is removable to allow easy access during projects.
